When the fuck did corporations get constitutional rights? THEY AIN'T PEOPLE, PEOPLE!!!!

Not to mention, a highly ingenious way to keep the hype of the 'danger' of dirty bombs fresh in our minds. THANK YOU, DHS. It's been proven a few times that dirty bombs are no real threat since they're just radioactive-packed conventional explosives, but the media kept hyping them as the 'Next And Future Most Dangerous Evil Terrorrorrorrorrorrist Weapon of Mass Destruction', even though the cleanup of the aftermath of a 'dirty bomb' has been mathematically proven to be trivial compared to cleaning up after a nuke.

Guess that's why the media gets such big bucks. They hype dirty bombs some more and citizens will demand this happen to 'save us all'.

Humans will be obsolete. You think they'll be kept around after obsolescense?

You think that's bad, in the original Okuna Klingon dictionary, they prattle on about there being a lack of a verb for 'to be'. Then, in 'Undiscovered Country', Chang rattles on about 'To be or not to be, THAT is the question' and later throws more Shakespear references 'from the original Klingon'. And they wonder why every series has a 'bible' to keep this shit straight...

Love the way you alluded to Matrix Reloaded.

Personally, I like John M Ford's version of Klingon, called 'klingonaase', 'the tool for the manipulation of the principle of klin'. 'Klingon' in klingonaase translates roughly to 'the one that embodies or possesses klin', aka, the 'warrior spirit'.

Sorry, I'm a Republican (or at least a RINO, according to the current party structure), my sense of humor was surgically removed.

Um, no, not really. There are several drugs developed outside the US that are illegal in the US. The original 'morning after' pill, for instance. Developed in Europe (France?), fell victim to 'Not Invented Here' syndrome here in the US and was never legalised. You think the FDA is going to greenlight something that wasn't designed and created here in the US? Something that a US pharm corporation can't profit from? That's just not the way it's done here. It's not the 'American way'.

The victims are politicians??? When'd this happen????

Sounds like he's aiming for a spot on Faux Newz when he 'retires' from politicking...

Cancer cures won't be marketted til cancer treatments stop being a cash cow. After all, they only work so well, then you get a relapse after remission so you get to buy the treatments again.

And they wonder why medical bankruptcies account for something like 75% of all personal bankruptcies in the US. That statistic alone tells me something is very very wrong with the system...

Dammit, my tinfoil hat got ripped. Let me point this home-printed gun at you so I can take yours. Gotta keep the Martushians outta my head, ya know. The thorazine just ain't working anymore...

Facebook friends don't count.

At the moment it's (reputedly) only going to be used for 'employment verification'. Every job I've held in the last 15 years has required me to show my driver's license, birth certificate, Social Security card, and DD-214 (I'm a veteran) to prove I'm a citizen and thus have the right to work in the US. Supposedly, the bosses had to file this info expressed as a Xerox copy of said documents to state and federal agencies. I never bothered asking which.

The question is, what else would this database be used for? You have this humongous database just sitting there. I'm sure some bright civil 'servant' will come up with all kinds of new uses for it to justify their paycheck...

So you're saying, in essence, that hurricanes happen because the weather sucks? As a Republican, I must take offense at that. :D

Pretty much, yeah. After all, you're cutting into the multimillion dollar salary and bonus plan of some bank bigwig. They take that shit kinda serious ya know...
